Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett seems to play particularly well against one of their divisional rivals.
Simply put, he has destroyed the Cincinnati Bengals throughout his career.

Garrett’s pass rush win rate against a single opponent (the Bengals) is the highest rate of any defensive player since 2017.
In eight career games against the Bengals, Garrett has racked up 19 total tackles and nine sacks.
He has terrorized the Bengals’ offensive front throughout his career and looks to do more of the same against them on Sunday.
Interestingly enough, although the Bengals have found more overall success in the past few years, the Browns have been the better team in this matchup.
Joe Burrow’s Success (Or Lack Thereof) Against The Browns
Since entering the league in 2019, Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow has faced off against the Browns on four separate occasions, losing all four of them.
In these games, Burrow has thrown for a total of 1,236 yards, eight touchdowns, and four interceptions.
But, he’s also been sacked 17 times in these matchups, which is a testament to Garrett and the play of the Browns’ entire offensive line.
On Sunday, the two teams face off in what should be an entertaining game.
The Bengals are currently 8-4, tied with the Baltimore Ravens for the AFC North division lead.
Will Burrow be able to fend off Garrett and the Browns’ defensive front, catapulting them to the top of their division?
Or, will he fall to a career record of 0-5 against them?
Tune in on Sunday to find out.
